Abstract

A swivel fitting includes a first annular member 12 and a second annular member 14. The first annular member 12 has a second end 18 which is threaded and a first end 16 which receives the first end 20 of the second annular member 14. The second annular member 14 has a second end 22 which is received within a tube or hose. The members 12, 14 are coupled together by expanding a frusto-conical end section 42 of the second annular member 14 within the first annular member 12, so that a radial lip 44 on the frusto-conical section 42 seats within an annular groove 46 formed within the first annular member 12. The swivel fitting 10 is sealed with an O-ring 56 which is sandwiched between a radially extending stop 58 on the first annular member 12 and a shoulder 60 on the first annular member 14.
